school, what a career in law should be, or how they should be thinking about the future of law, what the opportunities are. >> well, it is an obvious answer, but one people do not think of. you have to ask yourself why do you want to go the law school. i think there are lot of people who go to law school because they are not good at math and cannot think of anything else to do. [laughter] they often turn out to be very disappointed lawyers. i suppose the better way to put the question is not to ask why you want to go to law school, but why do you want to be a lawyer. you ought to do some serious soul-searching about that because it is always a difficult profession, but particularly these days. if you want to go to serve your community perhaps as a prosecutor, that is a good reason. there's something very gratifying that being able to stand up in court and saying you can speak for your country. same is true on the other side. maybe you feel motivated to represent the rights of those people who are accused. that is another good reason. when they announce a case in court, the bailiff wi

and as i said on sunday night, there's no law or set of laws that can prevent every senseless act of violence in our society. we're going to need to work on making access to mental health care at least as easy as access to a gun. we're going to need to look more closely at a culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence. and any actions we must take must begin inside the home and inside our hearts. but the fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing. the fact that we can't prevent every act of violence doesn't mean we can't steadily reduce the violence, and prevent the very worst violence. that's why i've asked the vice president to lead an effort that includes members of my cabinet and outside organizations to come up with a set of concrete proposals no later than january -- proposals that i then intend to push without delay. this is not some washington commission. this is not something where folks are going to be studying the issue for six months and publishing a report that gets read and then pushed aside. this is a team that has a very
